A new project Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of Innovation obtained funding

IFES became partner in a new project Socrates – Leonardo da Vinci – Transfer of Innovation. The promoter of this project is the British organization MyKnowledgeMap Ltd (UK). The project is called "European Initiative for the Promotion of Informal Learning – “Pastures New”" – EIPIL and in the next two years the project team will try to identify ways of recognition, validation and accreditation of informal education at the workplace on the basis of a model of competences and the use of tools such as the European CV format and an e-portfolio.

The transfers to be made in this project include a geographic transfer towards the “hospitality” sectors in Bulgaria, Greece, Poland and Romania, sectorial transfers towards the retail sector in Great Britain and towards the IT sector in Poland. The project also aims at realizing an extension of the EQF level – to be validated at level 5.
